Starling for the win

I like to use my starling card as an everyday use card ... and I'm loving the experience. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Innovative Banking

With my previous bank, I used to have to go to the city centre to physically walk into in a bank just to cash a cheque. I found this extremely inconvenient especially as means using fuel and paying for parking just to carry out a single transaction. Starling solved this problem by allowing you to cash the cheque via the app by uploading a front and back photo. Since then, other banks are trying to follow suit; but Starling is clearly leading the way. Saving spaces is another great feature that I find very useful especially as you can now arrange a direct debit straight from a saving space. It really gives you great control in budgeting your money. Starling gives me flexibility, control and convenience. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent, no fuss approach to banking

From opening the account, it has been a breeze. Simple and easy to use, the App let's you take control of your finances. The Savings Space idea is excellent (I have several!) and the new Bills Management feature is great. Knocks my old high Street bank into the tall grass. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
